Chapter 602 - Swarm of Shadows (1/2)

'Slon there, lady…'

Sunny tried to take a step back, but ended it staggering and aled to keep his balance, crouching as his talons dug into the ground His four arms rose, sharp claws ailory and death made him very, very tense

'Solvane… wait Solvane?'

A lol escaped fro in front of hihastly living corpse he had destroyed in the cargo hold of the crashed shi+p? Or rather… would be?

He had traveled into the past of the Chained Isles, after all, or at least an illusory reenactment of it Itfate

Yet

Sunny shi+vered, re and boundless torment in the empty eyes of the Wormvine's host How could those terrible eyes be the saht now?

Suddenly, he was overwhelmed by pity, compassion, and sorrow

And fear

Because if he was right and this was really the saer who had just prolorious death… was a Saint

And a Saint pro Sunny had ever wanted to hear

He peered beneath the surface of Solvane's lovely figure, and saw a single sphere of light burning brightly in her chest, so radiant as to appear al Her soul core… the soul core of a Transcendent

His vertical pupils narrowed, a single thought ringing in his mind:

'Run!'

Sunny felt that his body was muchhow to properly control it, outrunning a Saint was out of the question If it had ever been So, his only hope was Shadow Step…

He already started to fall into the shadohen a beautiful silhouette suddenly appeared near, a graceful hand falling frorip If not for Bone Weave, his wrist would have shattered like glass

The hold of a Saint was as inevitable and inescapable as death

Sunny couldn't escape into the shadows any to be of any use…

All except for one

A ghostly stiletto suddenly appeared in his trapped hand and aardly shot upward, leaving a thin scratch on Sovane's perfectly slanced at the scratch, which was sloelling with blood, a single crilistened

"Is this fate, then? A sacrifice of blood was made, on the altar of War Little shadowspawn, how special you are! Ah, so be it…"

With that, she smiled radiantly

In the next moment, her other hand moved forward, and before Sunny could even feel fear…

The world exploded with pain, and then turned utterly dark

Shadows… shadows…
